Welcome to AMS Spanish!

All work will be managed through Google Classroom and grades will be posted in PowerSchool.

I will automatically send a Google Classroom invite to the “primary contact email” that is listed in PowerSchool. If you have not received an invite or you would like a different/additional email address invite please let me know and I will get an invite to you.

The best way to contact me is via email pattonk@usd385.org
